The Sioux Reservation.


The following petition from the Dakota
Legislature hos been placed before the
United States Senate:
To tho Honorable, the Congress of the
United States: The Legislative Assembly Of
the Territory of Dakota respectfully repre-
sents that the people of this Territory earnestly
desire the passage Of the bill known as the
Dawes bill, now pending in the House of Rep
resentatives of the United States for the open
Territory Of Dakota. That we believe that
such an act would result in justice to all per-
sons, and the following are some of the rea-
the eastern portion of the Territory, with its
large population, but without coal or
wood, from the western, or Black
Hills portion, which is supplied with
wood and coal; that the opening of
this reservation would give . more direct and
much shorter route between the people in the
eastern part Of the Territory and the forest
and coal fields Of the Black Hills and Mon
tana thereby, as we believe, giving US cheaper
fuel which our people very much need This
reservation il composed almost entirely of
prairie land, the wild grasses of which mature
early in the crop season and is allowed to burn
of early every year, tending much toward the
scarcity Of rainfall and increase Of hot winds,
which have 80 often proved disastrous to our
agricultural interests in the eastern portion of
the Territory, and particularly to that part ly-
ing near the reservation. That we believe that
the Indian now occupying this reservation
would DO bettered in his condition by proper
and judicious use Of the revenue to be derived
from these land.

envy ut West Point. Four years afterward
he graduated at this institution, and was

The ivory used for fine table knives,
as we'll as for other purposes, comes
wholly from the great ivory mart of
London, and is the tusks of the ele-
plant, or of his fossil congener, the
mammoth. The ivory for knives is
sawed by reciprocating saws, fed with
water, and is then exposed for several
days to the sunlight, under glass, to
bleach it. The handles are weighted
by means of a piece of lead wire inside
of them, and the hole in which the wire
and the tang of the blade are placed is
lined with white cement, to prevent
the dark metal from showing through
the semi-transparent ivory. Before
the handles receive their fiual finish
they are smoked and scraper is run
over them to detect any slight depres-
sions. They are finished with whiting
on soft felt wheels,

Two ANCIENT Egyptian perfumes
have been reconstructed through the re-
searches of young French professor
at Lyons, who has devoted himslf to
studying Egyptian sepulture and the
plants of the Nile valley. By hunting
through the papyrus texts and the in
scriptions on the walls of the temple
lavatories. he has found the recipes
for the manufacture of "tasi" and
"kyphi The former was temple
perfume, used to anoint the statues of
the Egyptian Venus. "Kyphi" was
more important, and besides being
used at home for the rites of Isis and
Scraps, was imported into Greece and
Rome after the conquest of Egypt. It
then became the favorite perfume
among the luxurious Greeks and Ro-
mans, who we're anointed with .kyphi"
after the bath, and were sprinkIed
with the essence during The grand ban
quets, while sometimes it was used to
perfume the wine.

EVERYTHING that represents Mrs.
Cleveland, the Presidents wife, seems
to have interest to the millions of
people in this country. Her photo
graphs are sold everywhere, and the
photographers tell me they all make
money by them. An enterprising plas-
ter-cast molder has made small bust
of the first lady in the land, and they
are sold about the city of Washington
for good price; but the new Govern
ment, says a Washington correspon-
dent, has gone into making licensees
OF the fair mistress of the White House.
The old and mutilated bank notes,
when they come back to the United
States Treasury, are chopped up and
made into pulp, and this is nodded
into various shapes and forms. The
latest design is miniature bust of Mrs.
Cleveland. It takes $4,000 worth of
bank notes to make one of the
Presidents fair wife, and each figure il
labeled: shade from mutilated United
States bank notes worth $4,000"
These are sold for a fair price, and are
having good sale.

ton of his wealth. He affixed his
signature to the document. but did not
seal it, and deposited it in his trunk,

WOMEN are advancing year by year
into the medical profession in Paris.
At the recent examination for the post
OF house surgeons for the hospital, a
young lady candidate won the highest
numbers. An uproar among the male
students is expected when she is install
led. Many of the older doctors are of
the same opinion as the juniors, that
women are incapable of filling the po-
sition. But the Municipal Council
favor the appointment of thoroughly
trained women, and are determined to
give them places. There are other
warm advocates, and among them M.
German See, who champions woman
doctors in particular and the feminine
intellect in general. He declares that
women are perfectly fitted to be excel
lent house sur geons; that it would be
signal injustice to shut them out: and
ne goes so far as to say that not only is
their intelligence as subtle and their
Judgment as solid as that of men. but
they are usually blessed with greater
attentive powers. This is praise in
deed, coming from such man. No
doubt the admission of female doctors
into the hospitals will do much toward
furthering the interests of the sex as
general practitioners. So far the prei-
udice against them is very strong-all
the more inexplicable since, for GER

CONSUL GENERAL MORGAN of Mel
bourne recently sent to the State De-
partment at Washington report on
the rabbit plague of Australia, and
placed the amount of damage done in
that colony by the pest during the last
ten years at SIS, 100000. The Govern
ment has spent $3.50, 900 during the last
two years trying to exterminate them,
and the appropriation for the purpose
this year is $75O,OOO. In addition to
this large sum has been expended by
provincial authorities and private citi-
zens without much effect, as the ami
mails increase with such rapidity. A
bounty of six-pence is paid for pelts,
and over six millions were reported last
year. Mr.. Morgan says that some of
the finest agricultural and grazing
lands in the colony have been entirely
ruined and depopulated by the ravages
of the rabbits, and that in one PROV
ince, which formerly had the largest
crop of wool, scarcely any is now
grown.

The late Mr.. Charles Francis Adams,

The late Mr.. Charles Francis Adams,
says the Whitehall Reuie,v, was GER
tainly one of the most successful and the
most respected of the representatives
that America has ever sent to st.
James, and he won his success and the
respect of the English people at a time
of peculiar difficulty. Perhaps the most
famous episode in Mr.. Adams career
was the occasion when he wrote to
Lord Russell to protest against the
departure from an English port Of iron
rams built in the Confederate interest.
He wrote and wrote again, warning
Lord Russell of the imminent depar
ture of the rams. At last, when they
were about to sail, he wrote once more
pointing out the fact, and adding:
ut would be superhuous in me to point
out to your Lordship that this is war. "
The rams did not sail, and the friend
ship between England and America
was strengthened by the incident.
